Course Overview

This course is your entry-point to machine learning using the highly popular R language. You will start by organizing your data and then predicting it with the help of various examples. The first example will demonstrate predicting the murder arrest rate based on arrest data for a given state. Explore R Studio and libraries, how to apply linear regression, how to score test sets, and plotting test results on a Cartesian plane. Then use logistic regression to forecast insurance types based on medical treatment. This example demonstrates labeling and scaling data, how cross-validation works, and how to apply Logistic regression. Finally, you will move on, where you will use the caret package in R to simplify some of the classification steps.
